# The `skipXXXValidation` flags are used to skip over certain checks that are
# normally done when an untrusted block arrives from the network. The
# primary use case for this flag is when a proposer must propose a new
# block - in order to do so, it needs to update the state as if the block
# was valid, before it can sign it. Also useful for some testing, fuzzing with
# improved coverage, and to avoid unnecessary validation when replaying trusted
# (previously validated) blocks.
